Snyk has created this PR to fix 6 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/rollbar-backend/package.json

Note for zero-installs users

If you are using the Yarn feature zero-installs that was introduced in Yarn V2, note that this PR does not update the .yarn/cache/ directory meaning this code cannot be pulled and immediately developed on as one would expect for a zero-install project - you will need to run yarn to update the contents of the ./yarn/cache directory.
If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.

⚠️ Warning
Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging.

Walkthrough

This PR updates dependency management in the Rollbar backend plugin by transitioning from workspace protocol references to pinned versions for internal Backstage dependencies. The changes replace workspace:^ references with specific version numbers for @backstage/backend-common (0.25.0) and @backstage/config (0.1.1), ensuring version consistency across deployments. Additionally, the lodash dependency is upgraded from ^4.17.21 to ^4.17.23, incorporating important security patches and bug fixes. These changes prepare the plugin for release or establish a more stable dependency baseline.

Changes

File(s) Summary

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix several vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. However, the changes are not suitable for this monorepo setup. It incorrectly replaces workspace: package versions with pinned versions, including a significant downgrade of one package, which will likely break the application. The dependency updates should be handled at the monorepo level to ensure consistency and correctness.

critical

This automated PR from Snyk doesn't correctly handle the monorepo's workspace setup and will likely break the build.

  • Incorrectly Pinning Workspace Dependencies: It replaces workspace:^ with pinned versions for @backstage/backend-common and @backstage/config. This breaks the monorepo's dependency linking.
  • Major Version Downgrade: It downgrades @backstage/config from its workspace version (1.0.8) to 0.1.1, which will almost certainly cause breaking changes.
  • Inconsistent Dependency Update: The lodash update is only applied to this package, but it should be handled consistently across the monorepo to be effective. The PR also fails to update yarn.lock.

These changes should be reverted. To fix the vulnerabilities correctly, please update the dependencies at the root of the monorepo and run yarn to update the lockfile.
